Patong is undergoing a radical transformation as aging hotel stock gives way to high-density, branded luxury residences that justify the current ฿105,000/m² entry point. While land scarcity near the beachfront has reached a critical stage, the market is pivoting toward 'renovation-flips' of older units which offer significant upside. Supply remains constrained by strict coastal height regulations, ensuring that existing sea-view inventory retains a premium. Verdict: Patong remains Phuket’s liquidity king, offering the most resilient short-term rental yields for aggressive investors.
